The Shangri-la Clubhouse

In that it appears that the Monster Thread has died a quiet but noble death, I propose that this thread take it's place. Hopefully, it shall contain all that was good about the Monster Thread -- a thread of peace and tranquility, of humor/humour, wit, satire,and silliness. It was an oasis from all the troubling news that is all too real in the world "beyond the horizon". It provided all who came a cool drink of water and a momentary respite.

Personally, the Monster Thread was a place where I could wish you all a peaceful good night, or greet you with a smile and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

We cannot recreate the Monster Thread, just like it is not possible to recreate the original Woodstock. It is something that just happened, with no overt plan, no rhyme or reason. Yet, in my honest and sincere opinion, it served a valuable purpose for our community. Friendships were made in this thread, and only concerns and worries were lost, albeit momentarily.

Thus, I propose that this thread inherit all the good qualities of the Monster Thread, and, as the Phoenix before it, rise out of the ashes of technological "flames". I would also propose that the Shangri-la clubhouse have no leader (sorry Kosh for your one-term in office postion). Let it be free to wander where it might go, free from the talk of more serious and relevant matters that have their open debates in all the other threads.

RIP Monster Thread. You were of, by and for the people of ehMacLand.

In the words of William Wordsworth

"What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be."

Hi Marc
Looks like you've got one of those Master Chef types helping out in the kitchen, makes a great muffin!

How are things with you these days?

From what I see on the news, you folks on the right edge have not benefitted from the Climate Change as much as we here at the Centre of the Universe.

Not much different from living on the Rock I think.

No, that's not one of ours, but we do have young Tom (formerly a male) who sometimes acts like a big time hunter.

He adopted us a while back, showed up one day, very cold & very hungry, - had a few condition problems, made our local Vet happy!

And we think we are in charge!
I hear you, Bill.

True, Bill. Some of our doxies are show dogs .......... some are just pets, and few make master chefs.

All goes well here. Pup #2 just left for her new home today, with #3 going tomorrow. Then, the rest stay with us until early Jan. when the airline embargo is lifted and pups may be flown to their new homes.

The weather here in Lunenburg is very different from St. John's, NL. They have already had about 10 inches of snow and will most likely have a white Christmas. It has not snowed here yet, and we are still getting temps in the low teens. So, while we are not as blessed as those of you in "the Centre of the Universe", we are doing all right here in NS.

Paix, mon ami.

We're off to Vancouver's Goh Ballet School production of The Nutcracker tomorrow. From the very small kids, teens, and all the way up to the professional principal dancers, and live orchestra, it's a fun and exciting event to see and hear!!

Along with dinner after the performance, it's my Christmas present to the ladies in my life. For the dinner part, we'll be heading out of the downtown to a restaurant in my 'first hood', for some good Chinese food.

Enjoy. My son was a mouse in The Nutcracker production in St. John's when he was a boy.

Thanks Marc .... and bet that was a fun time for you and your son!!
For us, with this production, watching the youngsters doing their thing is always such a delight.
Well, he enjoyed his role as one of the mice.

Time to call it a night. See you all for Sunday Brunch. Paix, mes amis.

Morning all. Getting some Sunday Brunch goodies ready for later, but there is freshly brewed coffee.

Morning all. A bit late with this, but I saw the Nutcracker with the Royal in Winnipeg. Not a ballet fan, it was like watching an announcer less football game. I was hoping someone had a Fan Bug that I could borrow.....I was wishing to hear Danny Gallivan....a poignant toe point and scintillating swirl....

Well, not too many people can say that they saw the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, one of the world's finest groups, perform live.
